Covid Climbs

*HHS Secretary Alex Azar says the U.S. time is closing, to control the spread The U.S. has reached an all-time high, of Covid cases from the start We may lose control of the spread, any last grip falling apart It would sweep through every state, when you think of it this way Overwhelm hospitals, from every direction, filling up day to day Then we would return to the beginning of a shut down That had everyone complaining to start with, in each town None of this makes any sense, as today we watch each crowd Fill up streets side by side, all together screaming loud I’ve always said, the virus will prove the truth over all But, it’s unbearable to watch it, contribute to America’s fall Heidi Sands 6/28/20

It is "unbearable to watch" - truly unbearable to think of and seems to be getting worse since y you wrote this.

Thank you for your understanding comment on this Caren. It is so hard for all of us and we are so tired of it too. Take care. :)

Amazingly, Illinois is one of the few states where the positive case counts are not driving. It's by no means perfect here, but other than the insane rallies, nobody's congregating... The Mayor of Chicago's agents are all over the lakefront and other sites keeping people honest... Hats off to them. ~ Still locked down, frankly...gw

Good to hear it is not climbing there. Same for here..but sites not monitored as you describe. A lot of out of state tourists and the opening leaves it in question for later. I hope all is well. I appreciate your comments. Thank you :)

It would seem that way..." The fall" it's so ridiculous the decisions made...but the rise may make her greater after all...Let's see

The truly sad fact is that if everyone behaved as if it were a pandemic in February, the virus would have been under complete control by March, yet Trump et al continue to insist it will disappear on its own, so live for the moment - or at least long enough to re-elect him! Aloha! Rico

There certainly needed to be more consistent plans from the start ..in my opinion. And with all states doing things their own way..more conflicting results happen. Thank you for your comment Rico. I hope you have a nice day :)

Apt write, Heidi. Unfortunately it is everywhere. People are not listening and some leaders are playing politics. Hope we soon see some effective treatments or a vaccine.
